Autumn Gift (2022)Acrylic painting
by Hilde Hoekstra

This painting is large, radiant, powerful and so full of color! Exactly what I wanted to convey after working in the garden. Picture yourself amidst a lush wildflower garden at the cusp of autumn, where native orchids dance gracefully amidst the verdant grass, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. It’s a testament to my heartfelt connection with the wild. This large-scale painting breathes a radiant and powerful energy that is impossible to ignore.
As your gaze traverses the canvas, you'll discover the delicate interplay of shape and form: the sinuous silhouettes of blossoms and fruits, the intricate patterns of veins etched into decaying leaves. Each element is rendered with a spontaneous hand, using large brushes and multiple coloured layers and smaller brushes for dancing lines.
It's the sublime femininity of the flower, with its delicate stamens and pistils, that truly steals the show, beckoning you to surrender to one final moment of sensory delight.
